    Hello, and good night.I want to ask a question quickly before I sleep about my newly-purchased PC. It's new, it's out of the new shiny box. They come with a RTX and a Ryzen.Imagine that you had gone sleeping immediately during Genshin gameplay and quickly set alarms ASAP on your PC for your morning. If this is a case if you're still using an old laptop e.g. any laptop whose just have things alike Intel Celeron, Core 3rd ~ 6th... or any such Ryzens with older Zen2 architecture etc etc... then you should still wake a way too late of school/work least they're 7am+ because they will not work a

    Alarm that works when the computer is sleeping

    Hi, you could use a scheduled task:
    How to Make Your PC Wake From Sleep Automatically

    or you could install a freeware clock alarm
    From Comfort Software: If you need alarm clock software for Windows, this is the software you are looking for. Free Alarm Clock supports unlimited number of alarms so that you are not restricted to the number of alarms you can have. Alarms that you set will sound even if computer goes to sleep. While your PC is sleeping and the time comes to activate your alarm, Free Alarm Clock will wake your PC up. The alarm clock can remind you about important events by playing your favorite music and showing a notification message. You can set alarm volume level to a comfortable level depending on the time of the day.
    Free Alarm Clock for Windows

    Note the universal Alarms and Clock seems specified not to wake your PC.

    Unknown alarm

    I appreciate your help, but there is nothing that I could do to satisfy you.
    I gave notify.wav because it was the closest I could come to the sound, I don't know which sound it actually played.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Got to messing around and trying to boot from an external hard drive, (which never happened, got error 0XC0000225), and the alarm returned and I went through the 2 steps and still got the alarm.

    Unknown alarm

    I fail to see how the tesing to establish if the alarm still sounds can take at least a week

    However please let us know when you have established if the alarm still sounds.

    May I point out that on 10 a shutdown is NOT a complete shutdown unless you configure it to be it is a Windows 10 sleep state and various apps etc, and certainly those that sound an alarm, will wake the computer to sound it.

    If Windows 10 is shut down completely on this procedure
    Step 1: Open Start menu, select Power button.

    Step 2: Press and hold the Shift key on keyboard, while clicking on Shut down, and then release the Shift key to perform a full shutdown.

    and the alarm still sounds, then you can be more or less assured that it is not a windows setting
